CTE Workshop, Carolina Service-Learning 101 12:20-1:10

Designed for beginners, new Carolina faculty, or just those who are curious, this workshop will cover some of the basic tenets and hallmarks of service-learning pedagogy while reviewing the many resources and services available to faculty at the university. Participants will explore steps for service-learning course design and development while considering strategies for reflection, connections to research or international service, and methods to build sustainable community partnerships. Participants will leave this workshop with tangible ideas and resources for incorporating service-learning into your courses or engaging in scholarly activity within the field.
